Viewing Contact Details

Security Note:

What you can see and do in this application depends on the security permissions associated with your 25Live user account. In addition, if your user does not have permission to view Contacts (Basic: 7.0 View Contacts in Series25 Group Administration) the default scheduler for a location may not be visible. If you can't access something you think you should be able to, contact your 25Live Administrator.

Contact names of users that are schedulers, requestors, and other roles appear in 25Live if you have permissions to view them. Users with appropriate permissions can also edit contact details from this view.
